I do not understand how a university could judge skills of a person, their intelligence, with a few pieces of paper, and yet, Exams exist. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying exams and tests are inherently wrong, I'm saying the way they're conducted has a lot left to be desired. As a wise man once said, you cannot judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree. 

My point is, people are unique, in any given class there are those who want to pursuing their dreams of an athletic career, those who want to start a business and those who's interests lie in subjects not being taught are wasting their talents and time with a single rigid form of testing in our schools and our colleges. If a student isn't interested in a subject, no amount of force or fear is going to help them learn it. 

Our books are outdated, our examination style is outdated, and yet Indians wonder why we create Engineers on paper only, those who have a degree but are simply not employable by anyone because they lack any practical knowledge and experience of working with real life problems and finding solutions. 

Once again I was not saying the exams are wrong but it's process of expecting all students getting marks in same way is wrong, the method and the archaic system used to decide a student's future is borderline human rights abuse. 

Until the day our education system accepts the different kinds of students, there is no hope for those of us stuck in systems we cannot escape from.
